' AIR cooLING S STEM Application filed. September is, 1939 Serial No. 481,7 8 3.

This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in air cooling systems and more particularly to a system whereby the air 'is cooled by passing between two tanks containing a cooling agent. I

The principal object of this inventionris to provide a cooling system wherein the air does not contact with any liquid medium.

Other important objects and advantages 10 of the invention will readily become apparent to the reader of the following specification.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 represents the vertical fragmentary sectional view through a building equipped with the improved system,

' Figure 2 represents a vertical sectional view through one of the cooling units,

Figure 3 represents a horizontal sectional view through the cooling unit taken substantiall on line 33 of Figure 2 looking downwar y.

Figure 4 represents a vertical sectional view through a slightly modified form of the invention,

Figure 5 represents a vertical sectional view taken substantially on line 55 of Figure 4..

Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, the numeral 5 represents the room of a building, with numeral 6 designating the floor and numeral 7 the ceiling. Numeral 8 represents one side wall of the building.

e5 Numeral 9 generally refers to one of the cooling units which includes a container 10 of cylindrical shape. This container 10 has a tank 11 mounted therein and surrounding the tank 11 is a jacket 12, said jacket being 40 in spaced relation from both the tank 11 and the container 10. The upper ends of both the tank 11 and jacket 12 are constricted while the interior of the tank 11 and the interior of the containerlO are communicated by by-passes 13 extending through the tank and jacket atjtheir upper constricted ends. The jacket 12 is supported upon the" inlet pipe 14 and as is clearly shown in Figure 2,

the lower ends of the tanks 11 and container 10- ar 'communicaced by -by-passes 1 5. A funnel 12m mounted in the container'lO and has'notches 12b in the lower, end thereof.

so that-waten'caught: by the funnel will be directed onto the upper reduced end of the jacket 12. j

j The upper'end of the jacket 12 merges into a cold air outlet or pipe16 in whichthe pump 17 is'located. This pipe 16 extends to an outlet head 18 preferablylocatedadj'acent the ceiling 7 of the room, while the head 18- on the inlet pipe 14 is'located in the floor 6 of the room and may be in the form of a register.- i A conventional I cooling tower consists of vertically disposed bars19'supporting the' annu'lar fins 20 in vertically spaced arrangement, the lower fin 2O resting upon the up er end of the container 10" sothat water discharged from the nozzle 21 of theinletwater pipe 22 will fall both into the flared end- 23 of the pipe 24 which projects upwardly from the constricted end of the tank'11 andinto the space between theYcontainer 10 "and'the jacket 12',a deflector 25 being located within the tank 11 at its apex point soas to deflect side of the tank in a film. r

The upperend of the jacket 12 is constructwater to permit it to run down the inner ed so that'the water from the. nozzle 21 will also run down the outer sidejoft'he jacket in asheet or-film. i i r It can now be seen that air will enter through the pipe 16 from the'pump 17 and pass throughjthe space'26 between the tank 11 and the jacket 12 to'escape'throughfthe outlet pipe 14. Obviouslytthe air in passing through this space will be cooled by both the wall of the tank 11 and the "jacket 12. This cooling action takes place withoutany 7 actual contact'of the air with the water which is highly desirable to maintain the low water content in the air.

' Figures 4 and 5 disclose a somewhat modified form of the invention, the same disclos- 31 permits regulation of the air intake." It Qanzbe seenzthata .unnel;32 .encloses itheiendsi being disposed in spaced relation to the container, a by-pass communicating the interior of the container, with the interior of the tank, an air inlet to be spaced between the of the air tube 29 at the:OPPOSlleIiQIldLWflllii i 28 and merges with a lead off pipe 33 to the j point where the cool air is to be discharged;
